Take Responsibility.

[antitrust]

And when the door at the bottom of those stairs unlocks and it swings open gently of its own accord, allowing everyone back down into the courtroom, there are decidedly fewer of them than there were just a few days ago. The change in the podium circle is massive this time; Dio, Logan, Marty, Yuuri, Hibiki and Mordecai have all joined the ranks of the deceased, their podiums adorned with black cloth and greyscale photographs. Furthermore, the mass of shadows in the pit at the center seems agitated again, shifting and breaching upward toward the glass if one looks at it long enough. It's been something of a bad week, to put it gently. Not that it's evident from the Conductor's behavior; as usual, the proceedings are being watched from behind that panel of translucent glass behind podium 30, and he'll speak as soon as everyone has found their place in the circle. His words are a bit more rapid than usual; he seems interested in this one. "Temporal, Lucent, Vivacious and Universal...all four of them have been taken from you. Does whomever is responsible for this really deserve your compassion? There can be no hesitation; you should offer no mercy. It's you against the guilty. Take control of your fate, and hold them responsible." Thirteen Participants remain. You've lost five people this week, and eight since the last investigation; we'll see how many more you lose today.

[blazeit]

[ wait fuck did he literally just do the equivalent of "i called my teacher mom" ]

Oh my fucking god just ignore the last thirty seconds of my existence.

[openterrain]

.... 'Mom'? Really?

[ NOT THAT... JEAN CAN TALK. RIP SPACE DAD. ]

[blazeit]

I SAID TO IGNORE THAT. LET'S GO BACK TO TRIAL SHIT NOW.

[openterrain]

If you say so.

[sunsong]

[ snorting with laughter ]

[blazeit]

[ AHHHHHHHH ]

IS NOW REALLY THE TIME.

[sunsong]

[ still laughing ]

[clearasmud]

I've committed it to memory, plan on writing it down after this trial before finally, framing it.

[ SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THE THING, BAKUGOU

[ BRB DIGGING HIS HOLE RIGHT NOW HE'S GOING TO LOVE THE IDEA OF LIVING IN THIS HOLE WHILE THE DIRT COMES TUMBLING IN ON HIS BODY ]

[zomgboom]

Does that, like, make Logan your dad?

[she'd apologize, but she's snickering too hard to care.]

[blazeit]

.... Oh my fucking god.

Oh my god.

Observant, are you listening to this shit. Just put me out of my misery. [ ... ] That wasn't serious, don't do that.

[antitrust]

Do you really think that I have any intention of cutting this short.

If anything, I'm inclined to offer some sort of reward to those participating.

[sunsong]

Exactly how much have you been harassin' him, Bakugou...

[ still laughing @ him ]

[blazeit]

[ He deserves this, he truly does. ]

Ugh, fine, whatever. Give them some more fucking warhammers, why don't you.

[zomgboom]

[she'll take a little bit of pity on you.]

You were, like, asking me about a hammer? Is it like Thor's?

[blazeit]

[ you're the real MVP, tabby ]

I haven't seen one in person, but from what I know, I imagined they'd be big enough to be a two-handed weapon?

[zomgboom]

No, like. Only some people can pick up Thor's hammer, because it's magic? You have to be, like. Pure of heart or whatever.

[And, well. /GESTURES TO WHAT CAUSED THE DERAILMENT]

[clearasmud]

[ YOU RUINED IT ]

[clearasmud]

[ THAT ONLY WORKS IF AT LEAST TWO OF THEM ARE LIVING, FOOL




...you know, I actually think that was a tactics doujin that obviously youko wasn't in, because no porn exists of youko, she broke rule 34 ]

[rickdiculous]

Reaver and Logan are - they're having a roll in the hay as we speak. Probably watching this and - and just going at it. Morty is subjected to this and it's...terrible for everyone involved.
